Join Lewis Life host Luis Chavez as he sits down with Dr. Christie Billups to talk about the Brother Jeffrey Gros Institute at Lewis University.

In October 2023, LUTV interviewed Dr. Lili Burciaga, the Associate Director of the Gros Institute, who discusses various Gros Institute initiatives, the upcoming 2023 Peace Teach-In, and how she utilizes Peace Circles in the classroom.

Dr. Christie Billups highlights the significant impact of the leaders of the Black Lives Matter Movement - Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi, and Patrisse Cullors.

The two walls on the borders of Palestine-Israel and Mexico-U.S. were "reconstructed" on the Lewis University Main Campus as part of the 2014 Peace Teach-In.
